Tick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past years resulting in greater ...

Surveillance for zoonotic vector-borne infections using sick dogs from southeastern Brazil

, 2007
For many vector-borne organisms, dogs can be used as sentinels to estimate the risk of human infection. The objective of this study was to use dogs as sentinels for multiple vector-borne organisms in order to evaluate the potential for human infection ...

Tumor‐Derived Exosomal circAP2B1 Induces M2 Macrophage Polarization by Enhancing Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Promote Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ESCC‐derived exosomal circAP2B1 promotes tumor progression by reprogramming mitochondrial metabolism via the ESRRA/KPNA1/MFN2 axis to induce M2 polarization of macrophages. ABSTRACT Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remodels the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment via exosome‐mediated intercellular communication.

Infection caused by a parasite most closely related to Hepatozoon luiperdjie in cats from Hungary

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Feline hepatozoonosis, due to Hepatozoon felis, has been recently reported in wild cats from Central Europe. At the same time, only two isolated cases were reported in domestic cats, one in Austria, and another in Hungary. In the southern part of Central

Evaluation of an immunochromatography rapid diagnosis kit for detection of chikungunya virus antigen in India, a dengue-endemic country

Virology Journal, 2018
Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are arboviruses that share the same Aedes mosquito vector, and there is much overlap in endemic areas. In India, co-infection with both viruses is often reported.

Toward Personalized Theranostics: A Modular PET Platform for Antibody‐Based Imaging and Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This modular, site‐specific antibody platform enables customizable conjugates for PET imaging and therapy. Interchangeable payloads – including radiometals, cytotoxics, and fluorophores – support adaptable, multimodal applications with limited off‐target effects. In vivo, the DFO/DOTAGA bischelate immunoconjugate provided clear tumor delineation in PET/

Comparison and complete mitogenomes of two morphologically similar but ecologically different tick species, Ixodes arboricola and Ixodes lividus (subgenus Pholeoixodes)

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ixodes arboricola and Ixodes lividus are ornithophilic tick species. The former is typically associated with tree-hole dwelling birds, while the latter is a host-specific parasite of sand martins (Riparia riparia).

F‐Type Pyocin Versus Phage λ Tail: Conserved Hub, Divergent Fibers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Near‐atomic cryo‐EM structures of a Gram‐negative F‐type pyocin reveal a conserved tail tip architecture shared with bacteriophage λ together with a previously unrecognized side‐fiber attachment mode. These findings provide new insight into tailocin assembly and host recognition and establish a structural framework for engineering precision ...
